Taylor Swift has broken a Grammys record with her latest nomination for song of the year.

The shortlisting of her hit Anti-Hero makes Swift the first songwriter to score seven nominations in the category – beating Sir Paul McCartney and Lionel Richie who are tied with six each.

She is also nominated in the album and record of the year categories alongside Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus and SZA.

Others nominated for song of the year include Lana Del Rey and Dua Lipa.

Billie Eilish, Jon Batiste and SZA have also been recognised.

It was harder for artists to make the Grammys shortlist this year due to new rules.

Organisers have cut the number of nominations available in each category from 10 to eight.

This year’s Grammy Awards take place on 4 February in Los Angeles.

British dance and electronic producer Fred Again is among the nominees for best new artist.

He is joined in the category by Gracie Abrams, Ice Spice, Jelly Roll, Coco Jones, Noah Kahan, Victoria Monet and War and Treaty.

Recognised on the record of the year shortlist is Cyrus, Rodrigo, Swift, SZA, Jon Batiste, Boygenius, Billie Eilish and Victoria Monet.

Song of the year is different to record of the year – the former recognises songwriters and achievement in composition while the latter is concerned with the technical recording process – taking into account production, engineering and performance.

It’s more of the same in the album of the year category with Taylor Swift, SZA, Jon Batiste, Boygenius, Billie Eilish, Miley Cyrus, Victoria Monet and Olivia Rodrigo all nominated.

Nominations were announced on Friday, with singer-songwriter SZA leading the pack with nine in total.

She was recognised in the best progressive R&B album and best R&B performance categories.

SZA’s collaboration with Phoebe Bridgers with Ghost in the Machine was nominated for best pop duo/group performance.

Bridgers’ supergroup Boygenius was recognised in six categories too – including album of the year for The Record and record of the year for Not Strong Enough.

Batiste was a surprise winner at last year’s ceremony and features in the major categories once again, with his album World Music Radio and song Worship up for the top prizes.

Rodrigo joins Eilish in achieving the feat of being nominated for best album, song and record for her first two studio albums.

The 20-year-old former Disney star’s received chart success this year with song Vampire and album Guts.

Eilish has also featured heavily in this year’s Grammy nominations – the song she made for the Barbie movie, What Was I Made For?, has also made it onto the song and record of the year list.

The music from Barbie is well-represented across the nominations – Dua Lipa’s Dance the Night, which is up for song of the year, also comes from the film.

Meanwhile Barbie World by Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice, and Ryan Gosling’s I’m Just Ken, are up for best song written for visual media.
